How to catch employer’s attention in interviews? Research has found most interviews are
decided in the first two to three minutes. Make sure you practice your strong and professional
handshake accompanied by a gracious smile and confident body language. But don’t let the
confidence end there. From the moment you press the buzzer, you should come across as
Giáo viên: Chí Châu

professional and dynamic. Making confident small talk with both the receptionist and the hiring
managers will allow you to expose a little of your personality without the pressure of answering:
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”
Confidence (not arrogance) is important. Fight through the nerves and give your potential
new employer a good impression of the real you. Essentially you have nothing to lose, so just go for
it. Also, interviewers generally don’t want to catch candidates out – they want you to do well.
Recruitment is a business challenge and employers go into interviews hoping, praying even, that
the candidate is the solution.
Self-analysis is another good area to add to your pile of research and something that
candidates regularly forget. Look at the job specification and consider what the client might be
looking for. Now think about your own achievements and all the challenges you have overcome.
Finally, try and match the two together. Without self-reflection, you may forget key life experiences
that you could have applied to those tricky competency questions.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. How can graduates make a good impression during an interview?

B. The importance of confidence during an interview
C. The rules of interviews – every interviewee needs to know
D. Secrets of interviewers’ psychology during interviews
Question 32: The word “dynamic” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to?
A. aggressive

B. energetic

C. introverted

D. influential

Question 33: What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. candidate

B. recruitment

C. interviewer

D. confidence

Question 34: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. The first moment can have a positive influence on an interview.
B. Interviewers like to trick interviewees into making a mistake.
C. Candidates ordinarily forget about self-analysis factor
D. Confidence only is not enough for making good impression on the hiring managers
Question 35: According to the passage, the benefit of self-analysis is ___________
A. You will understand tricky questions from interviewers
B. You can apply life experience to answer tricky questions from interviewers
C. You will know how to overcome challenges

D. You will comprehensively understand about your manager

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Colleges and universities deliver vital opportunities and drive economic growth. Yet the current
coronavirus crisis is now creating huge financial uncertainty in post-16 education.
Most importantly, the government must make a firm commitment to guarantee funding for
institutions, protect jobs and rule out the closure of any college or university. Without these
guarantees vital academic, educational and support staff will be lost – all of whom are incredibly
expensive to try and replace.
We need to see colleges and universities work together, and with others, in the national interest.
The government should insist that, in return for underwriting current funding, institutions accept
a duty to work cooperatively to benefit students and our wider society. This means an end to the
unseemly competition for students between institutions, which is both wasteful and unproductive,
and will lead to even more financial instability.
This cooperation must extend to exams and assessment. It is increasingly clear that attempts to
hold exams on a business as usual basis will have profound consequences for the fairness and
equality of the process. While staff have been working hard to shift teaching online, the National
Union of Students has rightly raised concerns about how all students can participate fully and fairly
in exams.
Overambitious plans to resume operations in the autumn risk misleading potential students into
believing a return to normal operations is imminent. Only a real partnership between all
stakeholders, of the type recently agreed in the railway industry, can give students the certainty
they need.
Action is urgent to protect our colleges and universities, so they can lead the recovery. Now is

the time to turn decisively away from the market-driven madness of the past decade. We need a
new mood of cooperation which puts students’ interests first, treats staff as something more than
temporary help, and opens up opportunities for everyone in our communities.
Question 36: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The responsibility of government to protect universities during Coronavirus crisis.
B. The adaptation of universities to maintain operations.
C. The finance of universities will soon recover.
D. The cooperation among universities to put the student’s interest first.
Question 37: According to the passage, without the support of the government ___________.
A. educational institutions will not bring benefit for undergraduates
B. the competition among universities will not end

C. educational workers will be out of work
D. universities will strengthen cooperation one another
Question 38: The word “firm” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. hesitant

B. sure

C. inconstant

D. unsure

Question 39: What does the word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. the government
B. current funding

C. cooperative working to benefit students
D. duty to benefit students among universities
Question 40: According to the fourth paragraph, the phrase “attempts to hold exam on a business
as usual basis” means
A. the effort to organize exams in the usual way
B. the effort to maintain exams in the commercial way
C. the effort to hold exams in companies
D. the effort to hold exams as much as possible
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the passage?
A. Colleges and universities should put the student’s interests first.
B. That students participate in online test is appreciated as a fair assessment
C. The government played vital a role for the maintenance of educational institutions during
Coronavirus crisis
D. Finance of universities are negatively affected by Coronavirus pandemic
Question 42: According to the passage, the writer infers that plans of resuming operations in the
autumn will___________.
A. deceive students into believing everything will soon become normal
B. make students think that those plans are impractical
C. make students only trust in the stakeholders in the railway industry
D. make students become ambitious for those plans

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
How to catch an employer's attention in interviews? Research has found most interviews are

decided in the first two to three minutes. Make sure you practice your strong and professional
handshake accompanied by a gracious smile and confident body language. But don’t let the
confidence end there. From the moment you press the buzzer, you should come across as
professional and dynamic. Making confident small talk with both the receptionist and the hiring
managers will allow you to expose a little of your personality without the pressure of answering:
“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Giáo viên: Chí Châu

18


Confidence (not arrogance) is important. Fight through the nerves and give your potential
new employer a good impression of the real you. Essentially you have nothing to lose, so just go for
it. Also, interviewers generally don’t want to catch candidates out – they want you to do well.
Recruitment is a business challenge and employers go into interviews hoping, praying even, that
the candidate is the solution.
Self-analysis is another good area to add to your pile of research and something that
candidates regularly forget. Look at the job specification and consider what the client might be
looking for. Now think about your own achievements and all the challenges you have overcome.
Finally, try and match the two together. Without self-reflection, you may forget key life experiences
that you could have applied to those tricky competency questions.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. How can graduates make a good impression during an interview?
B. The importance of confidence during an interview
C. The rules of interviews – every interviewee needs to know

B. Tầm quan trọng của sự tự tin trong một cuộc phỏng vấn
C. Những quy tắc của phỏng vấn - những người được phỏng vấn cần được biết
D. Những bí mật về tâm lý của người phỏng vấn trong một cuộc phỏng vấn
Question 32: The word “dynamic” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to?
A. aggressive

B. energetic

C. introverted

D. influential

Dynamic (adj): năng động → Đáp án B. energetic
Các đáp án còn lại:
Aggressive (adj): hung hăng
Introverted (adj): ngại ngùng, ngại giao tiếp
Influential (adj): có tính ảnh hưởng

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Colleges and universities deliver vital opportunities and drive economic growth. Yet the
current coronavirus crisis is now creating huge financial uncertainty in post-16 education.
Most importantly, the government must make a firm commitment to guarantee funding for
institutions, protect jobs and rule out the closure of any college or university. Without these
guarantees vital academic, educational and support staff will be lost – all of whom are incredibly
expensive to try and replace.
We need to see colleges and universities work together, and with others, in the national
interest. The government should insist that, in return for underwriting current funding, institutions
accept a duty to work cooperatively to benefit students and our wider society. This means an end
to the unseemly competition for students between institutions, which is both wasteful and
unproductive, and will lead to even more financial instability.
This cooperation must extend to exams and assessment. It is increasingly clear that attempts

to hold exams on a business as usual basis will have profound consequences for the fairness and
equality of the process. While staff have been working hard to shift teaching online, the National
Union of Students has rightly raised concerns about how all students can participate fully and fairly
in exams.
Overambitious plans to resume operations in the autumn risk misleading potential students
into believing a return to normal operations is imminent. Only a real partnership between all
stakeholders, of the type recently agreed in the railway industry, can give students the certainty
they need.
Action is urgent to protect our colleges and universities, so they can lead the recovery. Now is
the time to turn decisively away from the market-driven madness of the past decade. We need a
new mood of cooperation which puts students’ interests first, treats staff as something more than
temporary help, and opens up opportunities for everyone in our communities.
Question 36: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The responsibility of government to protect universities during Coronavirus crisis
B. The adaptation of universities to maintain operations
C. The finance of universities will soon recover
D. The cooperation among universities to put the student’s interest first
